What Causes Severe Pain In The Lower Abdomen?

hi, for the past few days I have been having both mild and severe stomach/lower abdomen pain. I also noticed as I was about to shower yesterday black thick stringy vaginal discharge accompanied by dripping black blood, today I have had another big black blood clot and severe stomach pain, I am not due for my period and am currently taking birth control

General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hi,

Severe lower abdominal pain along with vaginal discharge definitely warrants an examination by a physician. Probably you are having an infection in your cervix/uterus.
If I was your physician I would definitely do an ultrasound of the uterus and would culture the discharge (to see what it grows). I would also give you a course of antibiotics (7 to 10 days).
As for the blood clot, you mentioned you are taking birth control pills, these pills can affect the lining of the uterus resulting in abnormal vaginal bleeding/clot.

I wish you good health and an early recovery.
If you have further questions please feel free to contact me.

Best regards.
